Rot Land by Michael Mulvihill

Rot land Michael Mulvihill

It’s not on any map. It’s the estate down the road. The one with the perfect hedges and the bins that never quite close.

Mad Mary has turned her house into a shrine of rubbish. Every takeaway carton, every broken toaster — a relic. She is curating the apocalypse.

Tim next door has finally found someone who listens. He spends his days in quiet conference with the authorities only he can see.

And out back, Barra the Soul Scrubber sits in a pot of his own filthy water, scrubbing and scrubbing, trying to boil himself clean of a life he can’t wash off.

In Rot Land, respectability is just a thin coat of paint. Filth is ritual. Gossip is gospel. And everyone is rotting very politely from the inside out.

Dark, bleakly funny, and too close to home to be comfortable — Rot Land is about the mess we live in, the mess we hide, and the mess that finally eats through the walls.
